Most Outrageous Insurance Frauds, The master of cheesy staged suicides
The british Labour politician with teeth hygiene like no other, John Stonehouse did what any man with debts and a whining wife would do. He staged his suicide and fled to Australia to start a new life with his mistress. The suicide was especially dramatic as he left nothing but his clothes on a beach to make it seem like drowning. Stonehouse was later arrested and convicted of insurance fraud.
